A great song, but one of the most depressing songs ever written. But I almost cleared an auditorium by singing that song. I was at Folkanagan, a small festival that had it's first year this year in Penticton. My first song (Some Lonesome Picker by John Stewart) got great applause.......then I went into Pictures From Life's Other Side.   Rather than risk a mass suicide, they slowly began to file out for coffee, smokes, and rambling.   I never was able to get them back.

Well, live and learn.   Next time I'll save it for the end.
